More quotes by Mos Def
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends.
Mos Def
African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.
Mos Def
But even creeps deserve to live someplace halfway decent.
Mos Def
Beef is not what Jay said to Nas Beef is when the working folks can't find jobs.
Mos Def
I don't care about what brand you are, I'm concerned what type of man you are, what your principles and standards are.
Mos Def
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.
Mos Def
I thought everybody got into rock 'n' roll because they didn't want to follow instructions.
Mos Def
And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone.

Fame is like getting across the street. It's like, if there's nothing to be across the street for, it's a pointless destination. It's like, I gotta get across the street, man! I gotta be there! I gotta be there! Then you get across the street and you're like, Yeah I'm here! And then, that's it. Fame doesn't make you particularly happy.
Mos Def
I'm a passionate person. I'm a lot of things, like most people are. Most people are dynamic. The focus is not on me though, I'm a screen. The aim is to always keep myself in the position where the screen is clear.
Mos Def
I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater.
Mos Def
Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate.
Mos Def
That's what I've been trying to strive for - to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.
Mos Def
Why did one straw break the camel's back? Here's the secret: The million other straws underneath it.
Mos Def
I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.
Mos Def
And from the moment that I saw you, I knew you was trouble, But I disregarded detour signs, And did not stop til you was mine. I guess God was like, 'Aight, fine.' Careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it in heaps. Try to give it back, He be like, 'Nah, that's yours to keep.'
Mos Def
You've got to validate every day. There are those who just put a stamp on it and say, This is gonna be a good day and I'm not gonna let anything else make it a bad day.
Mos Def
Hip-Hop went from selling crack to smoking it
Mos Def
Make today's solid ground out of yesterday's quicksand.
Mos Def
It wouldn't be fair to cast aspersions on an entire cultural movement based on the actions of a few. To quote my grandfather, 'One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.'
